It's freeeeezin in Spain, there's hailstones, heavy rain and not much prospects for ir getting better....
still mustn't complain...or should I ??
Had a good night's sleep in wally, very comfortable, although i thought it was heavy rain, rather than large hailstones banging on top of the roof all night... i awoke to a grim looking sky...and it didn't dissapoint..
still, managed to keep reading the Sunday newspapers, have a respectable breakfast and lounge around until late afternoon,
when the skies cleared slightly, and i walked up the hill behind the campsite to the monastery of St Torebo http://travel.viamichelin.com/web/Destination/Spain-Potes/Tourist_Site-Monastery_of_Santo_Toribio_de_Liebana-Santo_Toribio_de_Liebana
where there is a piece of the cross of Christ...
in fact I had my own private veneration of it from a monk, who couldn't speak English...as I couldn't Spanish...
http://www.thetablet.co.uk/article/6496 this makes interesting reading,,
then a 1000 mts climb to the Church of St Mary of the Angels ( just like Levenshulme !!)
and back to the campsite for pasta dinner...
praying for sun tomorrow !!!-- its a Red sunset--no Rain
